Startup Yatra is a recent initiative of the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) meant to create statelevel buzz on entrepreneurship. It will run parallel to the Union government’s much-touted Startup India action plan launched in January 2016. The new initiative is a consequence of several states formulating their own startup policies. While Andhra Pradesh, Goa, Kerala and Rajasthan had their own startup policies before the launch of Startup India last year, 11 more states including Telangana, Karnataka and Bihar have since launched their own policies to nurture and support startups.
